Notes From Ralph

"This album is so radical that, in a similar way that Residents fans are a sub-set of music fans, Big Bubble fans are a sub-set of Residents fans.  The Residents assuming the persona and name of an imaginary band only has one precedent that I can think of, and it is a good one.  The Mothers of Invention recorded an album pretending to be a doo-wop group known as Reuben and the Jets.  In a fashion similar to Residents fans, Mothers fans split between lovers and haters of the radical album.  The Residents one-upped the Mothers by creating a band that didn't speak English too well and sung mostly in a made up language called Molemot.  It also featured a fake album cover with a hilarious picture so the band.  Certainly this is one of The Residents most original (and confusing) undertakings."

"The vocalist would sing the song first without instruments or rhythm, and the arrangement would be worked out on that improvised structure. The timing of the singing is very erratic, so it required laying a grid behind the vocal to find the points where things would fall.”

— Hardy Fox, Sonics magazine, 1986
